  1. I voted for both. Morally, there's no difference between the two. A property owner has the right to decide in what manner that his property gets distributed. When you pirate software or steal from a store, you're taking the property in a manner which the property owner did not give you permission to. When you take something that doesn't belong to you and the property owner says that you can't have it that way, then that's theft no matter how you look at it.

    Except his property isn't touched, it is looked at and duplicated. There was no use of his property at all. He still has his property.

  2. the amount of RAM doesn't meet the requirements. 2GB are required(64-bit, 1GB for 32-bit). my *friend says the RAM needs to be of the same type that's in there because that's the kind the computer will run. I looked on Newegg and couldn't find IBM PC2100U, So is there a different site that would sell it, or is there a different type that the computer will run that's similar to it?

     

    * I forgot to mention that it was Custom built By my friend, Cal. So he may have put a ME OS on it, but it probably has the potential to run more. I'm going to hook it up a little later, after my dad's done with this computer, to check what that computer has on it.

     

    Okay, it's using an AMD 2000gigahertz(or maybe that's MHz, i'm not too sure.) processor, Soyo Dragon KT 400 motherboard, And a BFG series Asylum graphics card. So it should all be fine, but the Ram is like 186MB, i think, or somewhere around there.

     

    Edit, about the crossed out stuff: Nvm, I'm an idiot, it needs some kind of PC 2100 ram, which i'm going to look up, i was looking up specifically IBM PC2100U cards till i read up on it. XD

     

    Edit2: I found one for decently cheap: http://www.pricewatch.com/gallery/system_memory/ddr_pc2100_1gb i'm going to get 2 or 3 of these(i'll just get the $26 one on Newegg if it turns out that pricewatch isn't trustworthy), once they come in i should be all set. ^ ^

    Well, except for getting the full version of Win7.

    Only problem I see for windows 7 is that it's pointless, since the maximum that any of your pieces of hardware is designed for is XP. XP will utilize all of the hardware to it's fullest without bogging down the system, but 7 will use far more resources for no improvement. If you really wan the look of Vista/7 there are small mods out there for XP (I used to use them myself) that make it look very similar. Also, don't believe anybody that says that XP isn't as 'secure' as Vista/7, it is, and in some ways it is a bit more secure. (mainly because the newer viruses aren't being designed for XP)

     

    Also, if you're getting from Pricewatch, be careful, and never buy the 'Generic' or 'PREMIUM - QUALITY'. Look for name brands, and do a little research into them. The ones on Newegg are good though, I have used them before.

     

    One last thing, if you don't go and get a brand new video card that has DirectX 11 support, you really don't want to get anything higher than XP anyways. (there is no reason to go higher, and many to not go higher)

  3. 1369 - Financed by Charles V of France, Welshman Owain Lawgoch launches an invasion fleet against the English in an attempt to claim the throne of Wales. A storm causes Owain to abandon the invasion.

  4. Why do i have a feeling that living in rusty's mind for two seconds would cause the mental equivalent of watching your entire family get tortured and murdered?

    Because that also happens there...

  5. Finally got print screen to work. I am very interested to see what you pick on me for first. Also see if you can count how many different random non-game programs I have.
